The CBS network released its fall and midseason schedules on Wednesday (May 15), a slate that will bring Robin Williams back to series TV. Other known names joining the lineup include Tony Shalhoub, Toni Collette, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Josh Holloway and Will Arnett. NBC and Fox announced their new slates Monday, ABC on Tuesday.

Other news from CBS’ announcement: “Person of Interest” and “Two and a Half Men” get new time slots. Thursday night gets a comedy block.

Monday

7 p.m. – “How I Met Your Mother”

7:30 p.m. – “We Are Men,” a new comedy about single men living in an apartment complex, starring Frank Russo and Tony Shalhoub.

Large swaths of this season’s schedule are expected to remain intact next fall, like the combination of “NCIS” and “NCIS: Los Angeles” on Tuesdays, and its four franchises on Sundays, “60 Minutes,” “The Amazing Race,” “The Good Wife,” and “The Mentalist.”

That’s because CBS is in an enviable position, with higher ratings than any other broadcaster and fewer failures from the current season. “This is a schedule built to last,” said CBS’s scheduling chief Kelly Kahl.

The new Monday comedies are "We Are Men," which will follow "How I Met Your Mother," and "Mom," which gets the spot after "2 Broke Girls." "Mike & Molly" is being held for midseason, though where it goes has yet to be determined.

On Tuesdays, "Person of Interest" moves into the 10 p.m. slot after the "NCIS" block. It's the first time since the early 1980s ("The Dukes of Hazzard," "Dallas" and "Falcon Crest") that the three most-watched dramas on TV all air on one night.

Wrapping up a season in which it will finish first in both viewers and the crucial adults 18-49 demographic that advertisers favor, CBS unveiled a fall television schedule with four new comedies and two dramas.

For CBS, the win in adults 18-49 was its first since the 1991-92 television season. Although the network's ratings got a boost from having the Super Bowl, it still would have finished first without the big game.

The first-place finish in viewers and demographics will give CBS more ammunition when it starts negotiating with advertisers for the upcoming season.

"The network is alive and healthy," said Chief Executive Leslie Moonves, who added that CBS has never been more profitable and that the company's stock recently hit an all-time high.
